Overview: At the recent Halifax Board of Health meeting, members discussed reducing the frequency of their meetings from twice a month to once a month, potentially moving them to the third Wednesday of each month. This suggestion was considered feasible, provided it would not delay approvals for septic systems. The board agreed that should any issues arise, an emergency meeting could be convened with just a few days’ notice. This change aims to streamline the board’s operations while ensuring that necessary approvals are not hindered.
